Sotheby’s operate a twice yearly auction of Southeast Asian Art & Antiquities in New York in the months of March and September.
The sculpture was described as: “Visnu standing in samapada, three hands holding his identifying attributes of conch, discus and mace, the fourth lowered in varada mudra, wearing an elaborately beaded waistband and a long floral garland draped over his forearms extending to his knees, flanked on either side by attendant figures and animals.
